It's going to seriously duck up their economy.

Every bank I know is fleeing to Frankfurt or Dublin.

Bank of Britain's said they expect up to 75,000 in just the financial industry alone.

The tech industry is also running to Germany

A decision maker told us: "London doesn't factor heavily in future consideration. Too expensive to operate there and get no EU benefits."

Most of my Brit friends were happy with the decision but are not happy with the way it's being implemented.

It was people voting with their heart instead of their head. It's like betting all your money on the Bengals.

Of the Brits (and other UK folks) I know and deal with, some are OK with it, others are not.

You are aware that all Brits do not share a single consciousness?

In the short term it will hurt. Long term it will work out for them especially when the EU inevitably collapses

Yep but I'm fine with the change. I think it's kinda cute when it autocorrects to a duck.

No, they are not.

There is no such thing as "Bank of Britain."

Has more to do with available tech labor, not Brexit.

That proves their economy is doing well.

Yes.

Within the UK, I think they're 60/40 (opposed). A lot of people who voted in support of Brexit saw it as a protest vote. They never thought it would actually happen, as the public polling had it failing overwhelmingly in the final weeks before the vote.

Brits living in other EU countries are furious; especially if they've started a business or a family in other EU countries. It's going to get ugly for those folks.

Once They are completely gone, expect Poland and a few others to immediately leave the EU. They are tired of the EU forcing their agendas on the European Countries.

I do feel sorry for Sweden, those progressives don't even realize what they did. 1/4 of Malmo are Immigrants, and close to 75% of them don't work, and 75% of those brought to Sweden were men.


Sweden has 50 areas where Ambulance,Fire,etc services are not allowed to go, unless they have police escort. Also, police do not go with 1 car, they have 2 have 2, or shitheads will destroy it.

The best part, is that Swedish people laugh at places like Detroit, but even Detroit doesn't have Areas where Firemen and ambulance cannot go w/o police support. The jokes really on them and their progressive stupidity.

It's a sad state of affairs in Europe.

But there can be a prevailing or consensus opinion.

A few years ago I had to work in Detroit. There were places that cops wouldn't even go to. The Detroit police departments website also had a warning posted about entering city limits at your own risk.



Article with warning poster.

The British haven't been happy with anything since 1945.
